Copper Tones

1st December 2016

Look out for this beautiful copper kitchen which is being featured extensively in the January issue in Utopia magazine.

When Paul and Sarah Hamilton moved into their new family home in Cambridgeshire, they wanted to inject their own personality into the kitchen but they also wanted it to be in keeping with the history of the property, with many original features, such as the timber floorboards, being retained.

The solution was to opt for a bespoke design, with Paul and Sarah drawing on our expertise to create their dream kitchen. The design centres around the use of copper for the cabinetry, which combines beautifully with Wenge wood to fill the space with warmth and character.

“The generously-sized space offered lots of opportunities to be creative,” commented Max. “While the central island is a natural focal point of the space, other statement pieces also come together, so that wherever you are in the room there is something that catches your eye. The copper cabinetry, for example, adds warmth while reflecting light, matched by the copper-framed Wenge dresser unit which is a striking storage solution that is very much in keeping with the property overall.”

Design Republic offered a complete end to end service, essential because I’m so busy. I had seen examples of their work on their website. And importantly when Max came to visit he seemed to understand the sort of thing I wanted even though I was quite vague! The design evolved along the way, though importantly there were no surprises. Although, when the bathroom was completed it did really ‘wow’ me. I love it. I simply enjoy the time I do spend in the bathroom; it no longer feels functional and instead is a tranquil place to be.
